9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long should I wear my brace each day?
Follow your doctor’s advice; generally, 1–3 hours per day is recommended.

Can I sleep with my brace on?
Some braces (like plantar fasciitis braces) are designed for nighttime use. Others should be removed before sleeping.

How do I clean my brace?
Hand wash with mild soap and let air dry. Avoid high heat to preserve elasticity. And for our heated shoulder brace gently wipe down your heated shoulder brace with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Remove the battery and electronics before cleaning. Avoid submerging the brace in water, and always air dry it.

Will a brace permanently fix my condition? 
Braces provide support and relief, but combining them with physical therapy and proper movement is key for long-term improvement.
